Local

Are you a Locavore? If you prefer to eat locally grown and produced foods, supporting local farmers and producers, then the answer is yes.

At Honest Weight, we encourage buying local whenever possible - and we have the largest selection of local products in the entire Capital District to prove it.

Here are twelve great reasons to eat locally produced foods:

Freshness

Taste

Variety

Soil Stewardship

Energy Conservation

Environmental Protection

Cost

Self Reliance

Raise Consciousness

The Co-op has a huge selection of local products, providing you and your family with healthy fresh foods, helping sustain our local community and its economy, reducing your carbon footprint and encouraging other growers and producers to keep it local.

And not only can our helpful staff guide you in which local foods are best in which season, but we Honest Weight also offers classes in canning and food preservation.
